Club career

A goalkeeper, Schwäbe started his career at local club SC Hassia Dieburg before switching to Kickers Offenbach. In 2009, he was picked up by Eintracht Frankfurt. On 5 October 2012, while still an active part of the youth team, he made his first call-up for the second team in the 31 loss to Wormatia Worms in the Regionalliga Südwest. In 2013, Schwäbe was signed by TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and played for their second team the following season, also in the Regionalliga Südwest while playing for the club's under-19 side. With the latter he won the German Under 19 championship. For the 2014–15 Bundesliga season, he was promoted to the first team while still making appearances for the second team.

Schwäbe joined 3. Liga club VfL Osnabrück on loan for the 2015–16 season. On 25 July 2015, he made his 3. Liga debut in the 00 match against Erzgebirge Aue.

In the 2016–17 season, Schwäbe was loaned out once again, this time to 2. Bundesliga club Dynamo Dresden. On 6 August 2016, he made his 2. Bundesliga debut in the 11 match against 1. FC Nürnberg. On 19 May 2017, the loan was extended for one season more.[4]

After the 2017–18 season, Schwäbe returned to Hoffenheim, where he was signed by Danish Superliga side Brøndby IF as a replacement for Frederik Rønnow who had in turn been signed by Eintracht Frankfurt. Schwäbe signed a three-year deal with the club.[2] At Brøndby, he grew out to become the undisputed starter in goal, both under fellow German Alexander Zorniger, and later under head coach Niels Frederiksen.[5] During his stint in Denmark, he was rumoured to return to German football multiple times, included interest from VfB Stuttgart in 2019 and 2020, but a move did not materialise both times.[5][6][7]
